SKYLINE Study in Dravet Syndrome Narrowly Missed its Primary Endpoint of Reduction in Convulsive Seizure Frequency and Showed Clinically Meaningful and Nominally Significant Effects in Multiple Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
SKYWAY Study in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome Missed its Primary Endpoint of Reduction in Major Motor Drop Seizures
Soticlestat Showed a Consistent and Favorable Safety and Tolerability Profile in Both Studies
Takeda Will Move Forward to Discuss the Totality of the Data with Regulatory Authorities

OSAKA, Japan & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced topline data from its SKYLINE and SKYWAY studies.

SKYLINE (TAK-935-3001) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase 3 study that evaluated soticlestat (TAK-935) plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care in patients with refractory Dravet syndrome (DS).1 Soticlestat narrowly missed the primary endpoint of reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency as compared to placebo (p-value = 0.06). Among the six key secondary endpoints, soticlestat showed clinically meaningful and nominally significant results in the responder rate, measures of caregiver and clinician global impression of improvement, and seizure intensity and duration scales over the 16-week treatment period (all p-values ≤ 0.008).

SKYWAY (TAK-935-3002) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase 3 study that evaluated soticlestat plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care in patients with refractory Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).2 Soticlestat missed the novel primary endpoint of reduction from baseline in Major Motor Drop (MMD) seizure frequency as compared to placebo.

In SKYLINE and SKYWAY, some pre-specified subgroups of patients also showed nominally significant treatment effects on the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints of caregiver and clinician global impression of improvement, and seizure intensity and duration scales over the 16-week treatment period. Further analyses are being conducted.

Soticlestat was generally well tolerated in both SKYLINE and SKYWAY studies and demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the findings of previous studies.

“We are grateful to all the participants and their families, as well as investigators and clinical staff for their participation in these important studies,” said Sarah Sheikh, M.Sc., B.M., B.Ch., MRCP, Head, Neuroscience Therapeutic Area Unit and Head, Global Development at Takeda. “Even with currently available therapies, we know that many patients with developmental encephalopathies like DS and LGS still experience persistent unmet need across multiple dimensions, such as seizure burden and treatment tolerability. While we would have wished for more declarative results on the primary endpoints, we are encouraged by positive outcomes seen in the totality of the data and are looking forward to engaging health authorities to determine the best path forward.”

In the Phase 2 study, ELEKTRA, soticlestat demonstrated a statistically significant reduction of seizures from baseline compared to placebo (p-value = 0.002) in the combined DS and LGS study population during the full treatment period.3 In the DS cohort, statistically significant reduction in convulsive seizure frequency from baseline compared to placebo (p-value = 0.0007) was also achieved.3 In a pooled analysis of SKYLINE and the DS cohort of the Phase 2 ELEKTRA study, soticlestat also showed a reduction from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency compared to placebo (p-value = 0.001).

Takeda will engage with regulatory authorities to discuss the totality of the data generated by these studies to determine next steps. Takeda will also plan to present results of both Phase 3 studies at an upcoming scientific congress.

Takeda is continuing to assess the financial impacts of the study results, including impairment loss for intangible assets, on the first quarter ending June 30, 2024 and will communicate as necessary in due course.

About Soticlestat (TAK-935)
Soticlestat (TAK-935) is an investigational, first-in-class potent and selective inhibitor of cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H), an enzyme primarily expressed in the brain that catabolizes cholesterol to 24-S hydroxycholesterol (24HC) resulting in a reduction in glutamatergic hyperexcitability.4,5

About Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome are types of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), a group of rare epilepsy syndromes that typically become apparent during infancy or early childhood and are highly drug-resistant to many antiseizure medications.6,7 Individuals with DS and LGS also suffer from common non-seizure symptoms such as problems with alertness, communication and disruptive behavior.7,8

Dravet syndrome is most commonly caused by a genetic mutation in the SCN1A gene and affects approximately 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 21,000 people in the United States.7,9 Dravet syndrome is characterized by prolonged focal seizures that can evolve to convulsive tonic-clonic seizures.7 Children with Dravet syndrome experience developmental disabilities as seizures increase.7 Other common symptoms include changes in appetite, difficulty balancing and a crouched gait when walking.7

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is estimated to affect fewer than 1 in 1,000 people in the United States.10 Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a heterogeneous condition and characterized by several different types of seizures, most commonly atonic (drop), tonic and atypical absence seizures.6 Children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome may also develop cognitive dysfunction, delays in reaching developmental milestones and behavioral problems.6,8 Lennox-Gastaut syndrome can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions but in some cases no cause can be identified.8

About Takeda’s SKYLINE Trial
The Phase 3 SKYLINE is a global, multicenter, 1:1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of soticlestat as adjunctive therapy in pediatric and young adult subjects with Dravet syndrome. The primary endpoint was percent change from baseline in convulsive seizure frequency per 28 days in subjects receiving soticlestat as compared with placebo during the full treatment period. Key secondary endpoints included evaluation of effects on treatment response, Care GI-I (Caregiver Global Impression of Improvement), CGI-I, CGI-I Non-Seizure Symptoms, QI-Disability, CGI-I seizure intensity and duration.1

A total of 144 subjects aged 2 – 21 years were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of Dravet syndrome was adjudicated independently by the Epilepsy Study Consortium. The study treatment period was 16 weeks including a 4-week titration period and 12 weeks maintenance period. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either soticlestat or matching placebo twice daily (BID) added to current antiseizure therapy administered orally or via enteral tube feeding. Soticlestat was started at 100 mg BID or weight equivalent dose for 7 days and titrated up weekly, based on tolerability, up to 300 mg BID or weight equivalent dose. Upon completion of the study, willing subjects had the option to enroll in an ongoing open-label extension study (ENDYMION 2).1,11,12
